Altair Semiconductor Teams With AsiaTelco Technologies to Power World's FirstTD-LTE Mobile Hotspot

HOD HASHARON, Israel, November 29, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    Altair Semiconductor (http://www.altair-semi.com), a leading developer of
ultra-low power, small footprint and high performance 4G LTE chipsets
[http://www.altair-semi.com/fourgee-31006200 ], and AsiaTelco Technologies Co., a leading
supplier of wireless terminal products, today announced that Altair's chipset has been
integrated in AsiaTelco's TD-LTE Mobile Hotspot product, the ALM-F190. The ALM-F190 made
its debut at the ITU's (International Telecommunication Union) Telecom World Geneva 2011
Conference, where it was demonstrated by China Mobile.

    "AsiaTelco is committed to the commercialization of TD-LTE, as demonstrated by this
world-first TD-LTE product announcement," said Jason Ding, CEO of AsiaTelco. "The
selection of Altair's LTE chipset for this product has enabled us to develop a compact and
low power device, while benefitting from the high level of maturity and field testing
encompassed in its software."

    ALM-F190 is the first Mobile Hotspot product designed for both TD-LTE and FDD-LTE,
capable of delivering 100Mbps downlink and 50Mbps uplink. The product enables users to
experience applications such as high-definition video streaming, online gaming and high
speed Internet browsing using multiple connected WiFi devices over a single 4G LTE
connection. The product features long usage and standby times.

    "We are very proud to have our chipset power the world's first TD-LTE Mobile Hotspot
product," said Eran Eshed, Co-Founder and VP of Marketing and Business Development at
Altair Semiconductor. "AsiaTelco's choice of Altair chipsets for this innovative product
attests to the low power and high performance merits of the chipset, as well as the
maturity of our software. We look forward to partnering with AsiaTelco to introduce new
and exciting products in the future."

    AsiaTelco is a leading supplier of 4G products, including LTE USB dongles, wireless
data modules and indoor and outdoor CPEs, covering several frequency bands. The
China-based manufacturer has shipped products to more than 30 countries around the world.

    Altair's FourGee-3100/6200 is a 3GPP LTE chipset that supports LTE throughputs in
excess of 100Mbps/50Mbps DL/UL respectively. The chipset implements a high performance
MIMO receiver and is based on a proprietary OsquaredP(TM) Software Defined Radio (SDR)
processor [http://www.altair-semi.com/o2p-%E2%80%93-software-defined-radio-sdr-processor
], offering performance which significantly exceeds traditional communications DSP cores,
yet consumes a fraction of the power. The FourGee-3100/6200
[http://www.altair-semi.com/fourgee-31006200 ] supports both FDD and TDD variants using
single software, and covers any LTE frequency band in the range between 700-2700MHz. The
combined chipset offers terminal manufacturers a true global solution.
